The Encyclopedia consists of four volumes. Volumes 1 and 2 contain 247 alphabetically sorted entries.

But we have also endeavoured to look beyond the traditional boundaries of the discipline into neighbouring areas such as comparative law and uniform law, human rights, EU law and public international law as well as law and economics. Volume 3 contains 80 national reports. They describe the private international law regimes of selected countries and analyse global and regional trends.
